Lately, i heard for the first …

The Struggle Within, the final track of The Black Album, is a song which unfortunately sends the album off on pretty much just an average note. I’ve praised Hetfield’s vocal work and performance throughout this entire album but unfortunately I can’t really say that about this track. I think …

For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Jerry Cantrell, he is not only the lead guitarist for Alice in Chains, but plays a humongous role in voicing most of the songs also. Although Layne Staley (bless his heart) was the main vocalist for the group, Cantrell played a …

For some reason, I feel like I shouldn’t like the band Cracker—¦ but I do anyway. I suppose it’s what the band calls “Cracker Soul” that moves me. It’s that intangible there is in music that is added by pure feeling. Cracker songs are simple; easy chord progressions repeated …

Susannah McCorkle is one of my favorite jazz singers. That?s saying a lot, because I love listening and watching women sing jazz.

Artist: Beyonce ft. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Solange Knowles
Video: “Get Me Bodied”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Beyonce and Anthony Mandler
“Get Me Bodied” has to be the most overblown, over-hyped, over-saturated, and simply over-the-top music videos that Beyonce has ever done. It’s literally so over the top that it is ridiculous …
